FRONT PARKING AIDLIMITATIONS
The front parking aid sensors are activewhen your vehicle is in any position otherthan park (P) and the vehicle speed is lessthan 5 mph (8 km/h).
The sensor coverage area is up to 28 in(70 cm) from the bumper.
If your vehicle is in reverse (R), the frontparking aid detects objects when yourvehicle is moving at a low speed or anobject is moving toward your vehicle andprovides an audible warning, for exampleanother vehicle at a low speed. If yourvehicle remains stationary for a fewseconds, the audible warning turns off.Visual indication is always active in reverse(R).
If your vehicle is in any forward gear, thefront parking aid provides audible warningsand visual indication when your vehicle ismoving at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) orbelow and the system detects an objectwithin the detection zone. If your vehicleremains stationary for a few seconds, thevisual indication and audible warning turnsoff.
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the frontand rear sensors provide visual indicationonly when your vehicle is moving below aspeed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and obstaclesare detected inside the detection areas.Once your vehicle stops, the visualindication and audible warning stops aftera few seconds.
LOCATING THE FRONT PARKINGAID SENSORS
The front parking aid sensors are in thefront bumper.
FRONT PARKING AID AUDIBLEWARNINGS
A warning tone sounds when there is anobject within 28 in (70 cm) from the frontbumper. As your vehicle moves closer toan object, the rate of the tone increases.
The warning tone continuously soundswhen an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less fromthe front bumper.
Note:If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)or less from your vehicle, visual indicationremains on.
SIDE PARKING AID
WHAT IS THE SIDE PARKING AID
The front and rear outermost parking aidsensors map objects that are near to thesides of your vehicle.
SIDE PARKING AID LIMITATIONS
The sensor coverage is up to 24 in (60 cm)from the sides of your vehicle.

The side parking aid may not function if:
•Your vehicle remains stationary for overtwo minutes.
•The anti-lock brake system activates.
•The traction control system activates.
•Your vehicle is in park (P).
•The steering wheel angle informationis not available. You must drive at least492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph(30 km/h) to reset the steering wheelangle information.
Note:If you switch traction control off, theside sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the lengthof your vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect anobject that is moving toward the side ofyour vehicle, for example another vehiclemoving at a low speed, if it does not passa front or rear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the sidesensing system provides audible warnings.When your vehicle is moving slowly,obstacles are detected within 24 in(60 cm) and are inside the driving path ofyour vehicle. If your vehicle remainsstationary for a few seconds, the audiblewarning turns off. Visual indication isalways present in reverse (R).
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the sidesensing system provides visual indicationonly when your vehicle is moving slowlyand there is a front or rear parking aidobstacle detected, and the side obstacleis within 24 in (60 cm) from the side ofyour vehicle. If your vehicle remainsstationary for a few seconds, the visualindication turns off.
If the transmission is in drive (D) or anyother forward gear, the side sensing systemprovides audible and visual warnings.When your vehicle is moving slowly,obstacles are detected within 24 in(60 cm) and are inside the driving path ofyour vehicle. If your vehicle remainsstationary for a few seconds, the visualindication and audible warning turns off.
LOCATING THE SIDE PARKING AIDSENSORS
The side parking sensors are located in thesides of the front and rear bumpers.
SIDE PARKING AID AUDIBLEWARNINGS
When the side parking aid detects anobject within the coverage area and thedriving path of your vehicle, an audiblewarning sounds. As your vehicle movescloser to the object, the rate of the toneincreases.

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and gouses radar and camera sensors to maintaina set gap between your vehicle and thevehicle in front of you while following it toa complete stop. Stop and go can also beset to follow a vehicle directly in front ofyou and adjust the set speed, while you areat a complete stop.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle at all times. Thesystem is designed to be an aid and doesnot relieve you of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention. Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle,personal injury or death.
WARNING: Pay close attention tochanging road conditions such asentering or leaving a highway, on roadswith intersections or roundabouts, roadswithout visible lanes of travel, roads thatare winding, slippery, unpaved, or steepslopes.
WARNING: The system is not acrash warning or avoidance system.
WARNING: Do not use tire sizesother than those recommended becausethis can affect the normal operation ofthe system. Failure to do so may resultin a loss of vehicle control, which couldresult in serious injury.
WARNING: Do not use the systemin poor visibility, for example fog, heavyrain, spray or snow.
When Following a Vehicle
WARNING: When following avehicle that is braking, your vehicle doesnot always decelerate quickly enough toavoid a crash without driver intervention.Apply the brakes when necessary. Failureto follow this instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear when thesystem is active in situations such asprolonged downhill driving on steep slopes,for example in mountainous areas.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS
Sensor Limitations
WARNING: On rare occasions,detection issues can occur due to theroad infrastructures, for example bridges,tunnels and safety barriers. In thesecases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly. At all times, you areresponsible for controlling your vehicle,supervising the system and intervening,if required.
WARNING: If the systemmalfunctions, have your vehicle checkedas soon as possible.
